Miami is an incredibly dreary airport. There's no lighting and even less spoken English. Plane-watchers may like the view because MIA hosts a variety of airlines that can't be seen anywhere else in the United States (Copa, Lacsa, Aero Continente, Aces, etc.)

The only pleasant parts of MIA are the airline lounges, the new and colorful interior of Concourse A, and the feeling of relief when you get the hell out of any other part of the terminal.

MIA has been under construction for some time. The terminal is a semicircle with concourse piers that radiate outward, and the current plan is to expand a couple of the piers into each other to allow for a few more boarding gates. Of course, the idea is ridiculous, but it's consistent with Miami politics.
